A set of vertices in a graph is a dominating set if every vertex outside the set has a neighbor in the set. A dominating set is
connected if the subgraph induced by its vertices is connected. The connected domatic partition ...

Parallel libraries continuously evolve from low-level to higher-level abstractions. However, developers are not up-to-date with these higher-level abstractions, thus their parallel code might be hard to read, slow, and ...

Task-based libraries such as Intel’s Threading Building Blocks (TBB) provide higher levels of abstraction than threads for parallel programming. Work remains, however, to determine how straightforward it is to use these ...

Our goal in participating in the TREC 2009 Entity Track
was to study whether relation extraction techniques can help
in improving accuracy of the entity ﬁnding task. Finding
related entities is informational in nature ...

Parallel programming is hard. The industry leaders hope to convert the hard problem of using parallelism into the easier problem of using a parallel library. Yet, we know little about how programmers adopt these libraries ...

Feedback is an important technique in Information Retrieval to have users provide contextual information about their search needs, with the goal of improving retrieval accuracy and achieving personalization. Relevance ...
